Travis, Emily Hope you are doing well and managed to get out to see the cherry blossoms this weekend. Our farmer leadership will be in DC next week. I was wondering, if he is in town, if it might be possible to schedule an opportunity for them to meet with Administrator Zeldin next week on April 9th. Right now late afternoon works best, but they may also have some availability that morning. Attendees would include the following. NPPC President Duane Stateler, A hog farmer from McComb, OH. Duane is currently chair of the NPPC Environmental Policy Committee and has been the primary farmer leading efforts on the water quality front in Ohio for the last decade or so. In addition to raising hogs, he also raises corn, soybeans and wheat on his farm with his son. President Elect Rob Brenneman, a hog farmer from Washington, IA Vice President Pat Hord, a hog farmer from Bucyrus, OH NPPC Immediate Past President Lori Stevermer, a hog farmer from Easton, MN. NPPC CEO Bryan Humphries NPPC Chief Legal Strategist Michael Formica Meeting would be mostly a meet and greet, but in light of Duane's long term focus on water quality, I imagine topics to discuss would include continued water quality challenges facing farmers, the Animal Ag Water Quality Advisory ED_018475D_00002799-00003 Committee, and likely some of the trouble that farmers have experienced with EPA Region 5 (3 of our 4 officers farm within Region 5). Probably briefly touch on air emissions and biofuels as well. Thanks and very much appreciate your willingness to consider this request.

I am adding Jess Kramer who just started this week as a Senior Advisor to the Administrator for water and Abbie Tardif who is the Principal Deputy Assistant Administrator in the Office of Air and Radiation. Between us three we can cover all the issues you have detailed below. Let us know if you prefer one big meeting or would prefer to divide the issues up somehow--we are flexible either way. I am adding Emily Atkinson to help will the scheduling (Abbie may add someone from OAR to help on that front as well). Looking forward to finding some time and the discussion.

Mr. Voyles As discussed, I would like to request a meeting with Senior leadership at EPA to discuss a number of issues that are fast approaching regarding the nation's livestock farmers. Attendees would include representatives of the American Farm Bureau Federation, Dairy Industry, United Egg Producers, US Poultry and Egg Association, and US Pork Industry. The issues include: 1. EPA's pending Meat and Poultry Effluent Limitation Guidelines (ELG) in the Office of Water which are due to be finalized in August. littps:i/www.epa.govieemeat-and-poultry-products-effluent-guidelines-2024-proposed-rule As proposed by the Biden Administration, this rule carries a cost of over $1.16 billion a year, will lead to over 75, mostly small and medium sized, processing plants having to shut down according to EPA's own data, and result in the loss of hundreds of thousands of jobs throughout the supply chain. It would also eliminate markets for many livestock farmers, risking localized farm crisis. 2. The status of the National Air Emissions Monitoring Study, and in particular the work of the agency on development of long overdue emission estimating methodologies. https://www.epa.goviafos-airinational-air-emissions- monitoring-study#naerns-study There is currently a comment period open on the latest draft of EPA's models. I requested an extension of the comment period in December, which was partly granted a couple of days prior to President Trump's inauguration. As laid out in the attached extension request letter, there are a number of issues that will be triggered by this process which we believe EPA needs to be more engaged on. 3. The CAFO Rule ELG, the ongoing work of the Animal Ag Water Quality subcommittee that is operating under the Farm Ranch and Rual Communities FACA Committee, and nutrient issues associated with CAFOs in general. 4. PFAS and its impact on agriculture. Thank you and I look forward to discussing these with you and your team.

In addition to this request for time, we are also asking that EPA's Office of General Counsel provide adequate responses to the multiple questions we've raised concerning implementation of the these EEMs, the legal obligations that will arise for signatories under the air consent agreements, and the agencies plan to communicate with the individual farmers who may unknowingly face a series of rapid legal obligations under the air consent agreements. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Hope you and your families all have a safe and happy Holidays.
